This is part of what draws many neurodivergent people to kink: there is no "should" or "failure." There's an ongoing conversation in which all parties communicate openly and proactively about what to expect, in addition to what they need and desire while embracing their differences. It's beautiful.
Screenshot if an excerpt from the article How to Have Better Kink Scenes: ADHD in BDSM on TwistedMonk.com by Adora Horrible (AKA Shira Behal, LCPC, AT)

You could say that's the mantra of the whole kink realm..... The BDSM kink community is a place to explore your sensual desires, and let go of the sense of "should" or "failure" that can plague a neurodivergent person. So develop phrases like, "I lost my place would you repeat that?" Ask partners to respond with patience and without exasperation, so you can share your true experience.
Let them know it's important to praise your skills and strengths. If you are the partner of an ADHD person, do these things without them asking for it. Communicate openly, set joint expectations, and celebrate things that make different brains different. Sharing our differences is the biggest, hottest intimacy builder of all.

"This has gone on long enough.
Disparage your body all you please. It doesn't change that I don't care about either your height or stomach. In fact, I rather prefer the cuddletum." Cheeks aflush, he gasped, "cuddletum?!" Her smirk grew into a smile. "Yes, a cuddletum. Noun, a softness of the stomach that enhances the experience of cuddling." Ethan laughed as Caroline defiantly refused to break eye contact with the same dedication she gave to suppressing the fond happiness growing in her heart.

She noted the softness in his gaze and sternly reminded herself that forming emotional attachment before certainty was not an option. "He's nice, for now. Maybe he'll stick around." She mused.

Someone recently grabbed this (see picture) for me while it was on sale and I've been adding ~10 drops into every glass of water. I have throughout the day. It's made a huge difference and I recommend it or something like it. It works out to be much cheaper than electrolyte drinks. #WeeknightWriters

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.
Meme taken from a comic depicting Batman slapping Robin. Batman has the face of a more femme person with glasses and long hair, drawn in a different style than the comic.

Robin is saying "my religion says women should be submiss..." as Batman is slapping him across the face with an open palm and says "I'm not a part of your religion."

After years spent living an ocean away, Liam was left with no choice but to return to the place where he grew up. The jet-lag hangover is brutal, but not without its remedies. 🧁 From Rising to the Occasion #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
From Rising to the Occasion

Jet-lagged eyes opened on an all-too-familiar sight: the ceiling of his childhood bedroom. After years spent memorizing its every detail, the room was instantly recognizable. Liam realized that he had not imagined the past three days and had hastily returned to the United States.
More specifically, he'd come back to the only place that he'd ever called home and wasn't particularly pleased.

There was a mix of relief and trepidation in his thoughts, as he sat watching the dawning of "a new day" he may or may not have already met. He herded his thoughts to his breath and slowly took in the moment as a riotous laughter clapped like lightening. He immediately smiled in fond recognition. There was a glimmer of opportunity to be seized and it would be foolish to ignore that. It had been far too
long.
